NOC Dividend Type Payments

Although NOC has no upcoming (meaning, Board-approved and announced) dividends, you can sell covered calls on Northrop Grumman Corporation to create 12 extra dividend type payments per year to boost its yield. Let's look at some recent prices (last updated Wed 4:16 PM ET):

Northrop Grumman Corporation (NOC)
Bid	Ask	Last	Change	Volume	P/E	Market Cap

NOC Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls

With NOC at 577.08, here's a table showing how big the annual "dividend" (i.e. total annual call premium received) would need to be to attain 3%, 5%, and 10% annual yields. Also shown is the equivalent number of cents/day necessary to achieve each yield:

Annual Yield	Annual Premium	Cents/Day
3%	17.31	4.7
5%	28.85	7.9
10%	57.71	15.8

So now we need to find out of the money covered calls that pay at least the prescribed cents/day amount of time premium. That will generate income and, because they are out of the money, leave room for some upside potential on the stock. Here are some examples:
